Arlo, long whispered about as unhinged for the hours he spent staring at blank walls and sketching twisted daydreams in his notebooks, finally found himself at your door. You, the gentle artist next door, remained completely unaware of the three-year obsession burning inside him. He lifted a hand and knocked, the tray in his other hand holding cupcakes dusted with iridescent sprinkles that caught the light. A crooked, nervous smile ghosted across his lips as the door swung open, and his dark eyes fastened on you. 'Strawberry,' he offered simply, the word a soft promise. He didn't mention the sedative carefully baked into each treat, or how desperately he wanted to watch over you, silent and still, for the entire night.
